DON REGIMENT MARCHE
SUNDAY FOR ST. PATRICK
Band Joins
Post War
Croup
The U.S.F. ROTC green and gold
banner will fly unfurled before the
Don Regiment this Sunday afternoon, March 20, leading them in the
celebrated Annual St. Patrick's Day
Parade. Beginning at 2 p. m., the two
hour-long procession will tread its
festive way up Market Street on a
one-mile course, the trek reaching its
climax as it parades in a grand review
past the reviewing stand at the Civic
Center.
DONS MARCH FIFTH
The 1949 Shamrock Cavalcade has
been divided into eleven groups, the
U.S.F. Cadets finding themselves
slated in the fifth aggregate. Parade
officials state that on this day—a day
when "everybody greens-up and is a
McSomething" — the "Clover Express" will rumble into town in a
fashion which is designed to surpass
the St. Paddy days of past years. In
keeping with the spirit of competition, prizes will be awarded to those
groups showing outstanding qualities
of smartness, neatness, precision, etc.
The U.S.F. entry is particularly
anxious in its participation, in that
this will be their first public appearance since pre-war years, and espe-
_ as a nationally recognized "su-
^^r-rated" military unit.
JaND JOINS REGIMENT
The U.S.F. band under the direction of Art McCue will march with
the ROTC Regiment. This will be
the first time since before the war
that the band has marched with the
ROTC, and it will be expected to add
considerable prestige to the unit.
The band, thirty-five strong, will
be composed of ROTC members and
non-members alike. They will march
in full military dress, vieing for honors with some of the top army and
navv bands in the area.
Philhistorians
Teach Class
On Debating
A working demonstration of the
mechanics of formal debate was
given the members of the 9 o'clock
English class of Rev. James J. Lyons
Monday morning by three members
of the Philhistorian Debating Society
on the subject of President Truman's
Civil Rights Program.
Bill Duffy, Frank Driscoll and
Norman Adler conducted the debate.
The burden of proving the proposition concerning the adequacy of the
legislation fell on Adler, while the
task of refuting the arguments was
Driscoll's. Duffy explained to the
class the general mechanics in a
short introductory talk.
The formal debate was followed
by a question and answer session
between the speakers and the class.
Great interest was demonstrated by
the questions from the students.

Union Man
Addresses
IRS Meet
"The Taft-Hartley law is injurious
to unions in several ways," stated
Mr. Jefferey Cohelan, secretary-
treasurer of the Milk Drivers and
Dairy Employees Local No. 302, in
an address to the Industrial Relations Society of U.S.F. Monday
evening, March 14.
Mr. Cohelan elaborated his contention by pointing out that the law
prevents unions from fining its
members when these latter step out
of line. He added, further, that the
forced publication of financial statements may be harmful to unions
operating on limited funds. Revealing the condition of the union to the
employer would in all probability
prompt him to hold out against the
union's strike-supported demands.
The speaker was optimistic about
the future of collective bargaining.
He was of the opinion that difficulties experienced thus far have
stemmed not from difficulties necessarily inherent in such means of
dispute settlement, but from growing
pains encountered in the maturing
of the procedure. He predicted above
all an increase in the use of collective bargaining on an area - wide
basis, over and above labor-management settlement from locale to locale.
Mr. Cohelan is a keen student of
economics and industrial relations,
and has accumulated widespread
experience at the bargaining table.
His talk was titled "Contemporary
Problems in Collective Bargaining."
The address was preceded by a
brief business meeting presided over
by I.R.S. President Jerry Haughey.
It was followed by open-forum discussion and refreshments.
BOOKSTORE NOTICE
The GI, State and Athletic
accounts at the bookstore will

Justice; Its Role and Importance."
The speaker was formerly connected with the office of the United
States Attorney General in Washington and is now associated with
the firm of Melvin, Faulkner, Shee-
han & Wiseman, which specializes
in Federal criminal cases.
Mr. Zirpoli's talk concerned his
personal experiences dealing with
his government work. He was one
of the prosecuting attorneys in the
"Baby-Face" Nelson case of a decade
ago, and his work covered many
more of the outstanding cases of our
times.
NEW CHANCELLOR
Prior to the regular meeting the
members of the club held a short
business meeting in which Richard
Gravelle was elected Chancellor of
the organization and Donald Lawrence Secretary. This was in line
with the current move to get the
club back into the hands of the undergraduates to relieve Mr. A. Russell Berti of the load of conducting
the club.
Plans for a more active organization are being formulated, the first
of which is to hold bi-monthly meetings. Included among the activities
will be the annual trip to the Legislature in Sacramento. Thc main activity of the members will be toward
getting the position of the club back
to the heights it once held.

"Vida Brasileira" Is
Study in Portuguese for
Use of Americans
Vida Brasileira, the latest textbook in the Portuguese language by
Rev. P. Carlo Rossi, S.J., is now on
prominent display in the University
library.
A Portuguese reading grammar,
the book, according to Fr. Rossi,
"is intended primarily for American
university students who wish to
learn something of Brazil as well
as modern Portuguese terminology
commonly used in the various phases
of human activities."
RAPID PRODUCTION
The volume is compact and profusely illustrated. Its publisher is
Henry Holt and Company of New
York, and it follows closely on the
appearance of O Ingles dos Estados
Unidos, a textbook in the English language for Portuguese-speaking students, which was released to the
academic public in October of last
year.
ON STAFF SINCE 1941
Father Rossi is Professor of
Portuguese at U.S.F., and has been
instructing here since 1940. He
earned his doctorate of philosophy
at the University of California in
1941, and has written two other
language texts in addition to the two
already named. The first is titled
Portuguese, the Language of Brazil,
and is intended for the study of
Portuguese by English - speaking
students.
RECORDS ACCOMPANYING
The second, published earlier in
1948, is for the use of Spanish-speaking students in the study of English.
It, in turn, is titled El Ingles de los
Estados Unidos, and is also accompanied by records which were made
in New York and revised in Hollywood to correspond with revisions
made in the book.
DON FACULTY ESCORT
Father Rossi is at present in New
York accompanying the Don basketball squad in its assault on the
National Invitational Tournament
title as faculty representative. At
present writing he has made two
guest appearances over the air at
half-time periods of the Manhattan
and Utah games. He is likewise
taking the occasion to confer with
publishers in New York City.

Thomists Set
Series Dates
Overcrowded lecture schedules
necessitated the postponement of

moderator of the philosophical honor

and Contemporary Idealism," by

Fitzgerald (addition to the University's philosophy faculty during the
past semester), will be given on
Tuesday, April 19.

which will extend throughout the
spring semester. All will be presented in the Semeria room, and,
while sponsored by the Thomists for
members and U.S.F. students, are
open to the interested friends and
associates of the University.

"Vida Brasileira" Is
Study in Portuguese for
Use of Americans
Vida Brasileira, the latest textbook in the Portuguese language by
Rev. P. Carlo Rossi, S.J., is now on
prominent display in the University
library.
A Portuguese reading grammar,
the book, according to Fr. Rossi,
"is intended primarily for American
university students who wish to
learn something of Brazil as well
as modern Portuguese terminology
commonly used in the various phases
of human activities."
RAPID PRODUCTION
The volume is compact and profusely illustrated. Its publisher is
Henry Holt and Company of New
York, and it follows closely on the
appearance of O Ingles dos Estados
Unidos, a textbook in the English language for Portuguese-speaking students, which was released to the
academic public in October of last
year.
ON STAFF SINCE 1941
Father Rossi is Professor of
Portuguese at U.S.F., and has been
instructing here since 1940. He
earned his doctorate of philosophy
at the University of California in
1941, and has written two other
language texts in addition to the two
already named. The first is titled
Portuguese, the Language of Brazil,
and is intended for the study of
Portuguese by English - speaking
students.
RECORDS ACCOMPANYING
The second, published earlier in
1948, is for the use of Spanish-speaking students in the study of English.
It, in turn, is titled El Ingles de los
Estados Unidos, and is also accompanied by records which were made
in New York and revised in Hollywood to correspond with revisions
made in the book.
DON FACULTY ESCORT
Father Rossi is at present in New
York accompanying the Don basketball squad in its assault on the
National Invitational Tournament
title as faculty representative. At
present writing he has made two
guest appearances over the air at
half-time periods of the Manhattan
and Utah games. He is likewise
taking the occasion to confer with
publishers in New York City.

S.F. Key Point
For Medical
V. A. Aid
San Francisco has been selected
as one of the five key points from
which medical supervision of hospitals and other VA medical matters
will be carried out, according to a
recent release of the Veterans Administration.
Other key points selected are
Boston, Atlanta, St. Louis and Fort
Snelling, Minnesota.
The release stressed that this
change in supervisory activities will
bring supervision of the Chief Medical Director closer to hospital and
other medical activities in the field,
thereby assuring maintenance of the
finest medical service to veterans.

team in the history of the University
of San Francisco. The band will be
out in full force to add their part to
